Polk Marks 40 Years

Polk Audio said this week that it is marking the 40th anniversary of its founding, with a party for its staff at its Baltimore headquarters.

“Polk Audio is a great American success story,” Ben Newhall, Polk's senior vice president of sales and marketing, said in a statement.

“In 1972 a few college friends pooled their talents to make high performance speakers that were embraced by reviewers and audiophiles alike as being musically pleasing, fun to listen to, and affordable . Their dream and vision was that through fundamental research and solid engineering, high performance audio could be within reach of all.
